The idea, born during the pandemic, was to ride an entire region close to home from top to bottom. The first week-long loop made me fall in love with the Montérégie, its bucolic rows, waterways and beautiful bike paths. The second was twice as long and 3 times as difficult. It led me to discover the Eastern Townships, its rugged hills, including Mont Mégantic, as well as its charming villages and hundreds of attractions. In 2024, the stars had finally aligned for a trip to Vermont. I planned a 10-day loop on the brand-new Lamoille Valley Rail Trail in the north of the state.
